at first it looked like it was just some random parking lot until i saw the camp jeep course in the background. it was a pretty daring move for the passenger to stick their hand out the window though.

It was obviously in 4wd, because the front tire started out on the negative side of the curved surface.
I wonder why there was no flex in the front axle. It's as if they blocked the axle so it wouldn't tip over once it leaned.

I agree, but when I turn like that on pavement my drive train makes a ton of noise. I see about the lockers now: The rear wheel continued to turn even after it was in the air (you can see it at the end of the video when he backs down). But, I'd be interested in what an LSD and BLD would do on that.

It would be interesting to see how the BLD would perform in that situation.

Actually, the lockers would not be required, as by the time the rear wheel came off the ground, the front wheel was pulling it forward instead of being pushed. On another note, the driver puts stupidity on a whole new level.

So it's stupidity? In a Jeep camp, with a Jeep? I've watched people take their Jeeps, just as new, and also pretty modded, do the same stuff, away from help, in dark, deep, scary woods where the boogy man hangs out. This is not stupid. It would be stupid if he rolled MY jeep in the process... not his own. Go for it brother. I'm a fan.

To the OP, the "axles level with the body" statement is true with regards to flexing, but it may sound kind of confusing. Just look at how them super-flexing JKs have each wheel on the ground/on a surface. That JK had that back wheel WAY off the ground. He would have never made it up an RTI ramp that far/high. An RTI ramp measures flex. You ride up the ramp until a wheel looses contact. Someone else can chime in on the RTI ramp thing 'cause I've never done it.

Taking it "a bit" past the LR losing contact.
